Isn't Darren from Consolidated Cardboard running under the Greasy Funk party?

I think Horse is a Reps-publican.

oh, and I'd forgotten about

Bob for the Newbridge Freedom Party.

Here's hoping that the next condidates include Keith Kincaid, Zachary Brimstead Esq or Bishop Fontana.

Nice!  I, too, had forgotten about Bob.  I think his official party name is the Newbridge Freedom Lovers Party.

I guess we can now add Ronald Thomas Clontle (Ruler party) to the mix.

This is truly going to be an election for the ages!!!  Can people get their 27(is that the #) signatures online?  I am also curious about the residency requirements.  I'd like to see Corey Harris throw his hat in.  His bravery on Everest surely makes him a strong contender.  He is quite resilient.  This could lead to a Mother 13 vs. Kiss showdown.

I'm just excited to see where this goes.  And for the many pancakes.

Me too.  And I hope that if that happens, Tom calls into his own show in his "Steve" voice*, i.e. invoking Third Layer Dupedom.  Doesn't happen often but when it does, hoo-wee that is some funny sh*t. 

* "The format of my radio show is I'm going to stab you" (paraphrase from the infamous Bill Cheetah call)

Seconding the hope that a certain member of the Newbridge community throws his skimmer straw hat into the ring.

Glenn Danzig!

This really is an ingenuous bit.  Anything that happens in the non-Neubridgean world can be rolled in at any moment.  I can't wait.

Big pops to Tom for his "yeah, yeah" jadedness when Danzig was unfurling his issues ...

Does anyone else think the Mayubernatorial Race is shaping up to be a Best Show Grand Finale?  Tom did hint awhile back that maybe this would be the last season.  Bringing back Ronald T. Clontle seems to bring it full circle.

Glenn Danzig!
I don't think that was really Danzig.  He said Samhain wrong.  It's pronounced sow-win.  Learn your Gaelic, son.

Also he didn't have a slogan.  May I suggest - Get ready to meet my little hellhound (that hellhound's gonna rip your face off)

I'm hoping for a shocking, Diggstown-esque twist in the elections. If I remember right, Philly Boy Roy was last heading towards Newbridge, looking for a place to stay, and sleeping on somebody's couch long enough might qualify him for entry under the same rules that have let future Celebrity Apprentice Winner Gene Simmons throw his articulated dragon codpiece into the ring.

I'm pretty sure RT Clontle came back merely because it was the 10th anniversary of his first call.

The thought crossed my mind mike a, but the more I think about it, the more that sort of ending doesn't really seem their style. Plus, it's not as if this is the first S&W bit that involved bringing a large quantity of old & new characters into a common environment.

Regardless of all of this, I certainly hope it's not the end.

I understand why I've been thrown into two hate pits, but please know I'm not wishing for an end to the show!  I want it to last forever, especially having just discovered it over the past year and a half.

That one caller who threw hate into the hate pit?  I'm with him.

Maybe Brad Sommerstant (sp?) should run - perhaps he'll get the date right this time. That is, if he hasn't Safety-Danced his way to the swim that never ends.

Danzig has my vote, hands down.  I don't even need to hear any other candidates.


Also, I would pay good money to see a band called Pancake Mosh Pit.

Today, I offer my endorsement of Horse for mayor of Newbridge.

I feel change in the air. I have marveled at his grit and grace, and am proud to offer my full support to his candydacy in the mayubinatorial election.

From the beginning, he opposed the war against Oldbridge.  And let no one deny that truth.

With Horse, we will turn the page on the old politics of misrepresentation and distortion.

With Horse we will close the book on the old politics of jocks against nerds, slobs against snobs, and slap-fighters against belt-whippers.

There was another time, when another young candidate was running for office and challenging Newbridge to cross a new frontier. He faced criticism from the preceding officeholder, who was widely respected.
 
And John Kennedy replied, 'The world is changing. The old ways will not do. ... It is time for a new generation of leadership.

So it is with Horse.

 Yes, you do.*

 Perhaps it has something to do with Sun Ra fandom.

 Then again, maybe not.
